Match the following columns:

Column $I$	Column $II$
$(1)$ Earthworm	$(a)$ Males are absent
$(2)$ Cockroach	$(b)$ Hermaphrodite
$(3)$ Honey bee	$(c)$ Dioecious
$(4)$ Rotifers	$(d)$ Parthenogenesis

(B) The correct matches are as follows:
$(1)$ Earthworm is a hermaphrodite (bisexual), meaning it contains both male and female reproductive organs in the same individual. Thus, $(1-b)$.
$(2)$ Cockroach is dioecious, meaning male and female reproductive organs are present in separate individuals. Thus, $(2-c)$.
$(3)$ Honey bee exhibits parthenogenesis, where unfertilized eggs develop into new individuals (drones). Thus, $(3-d)$.
$(4)$ Rotifers are organisms where males are often absent in certain populations, and reproduction occurs via parthenogenesis. Thus, $(4-a)$.
Therefore, the correct sequence is $(1-b, 2-c, 3-d, 4-a)$.
